The NBA ruled on Friday that there would be no further action against Joel Embiid and James Harden.
Dorian Finney-Smith said Harden’s ejection was “a makeup call a little bit.”
And Finney-Smith followed up with a sentiment that didn’t seem to be shared by too many of his teammates. Johnson called Embiid’s play against Claxton “excessive and unnatural and not basketball-like. I thought it hit all those, but I guess they saw it differently.”“We’re not gonna rely on somebody getting kicked out of a game,” Johnson said. “That’s not how we want things to go. We’re gonna play against whoever they put out there. We’re not gonna ask for anything extra. That’s not our call and not our concern.
